This is a drawing I did of an apartment building in New York – from pencil sketch to the start to the end. I wasn’t sure it was going to work – I’d never done an apartment building before – it’s vertical instead of horizontal. It does make a difference. But it worked. And though it’s hard to see – there are pink flamingos on each balcony on the first floor – and a brass doorknob on the building door. For the brass doorknob I used gold paint that I had bought to do some reverse-glass-painting. Doing reverse-glass-painting is a whole ‘nother method of painting. I’ll fill you in on that in a later post. ■ I’ve been trying to do one pencil sketch a day. It’s to try and improve my drawing ability. I’ve been pretty much up to that one-a-day pace, but missed it today. I’ll post some of them here for you to look at. ■ And yes, it’s time for bed. ‘Night. ■
